COMMUNITY IMPACT BEGINS HERE!

To kick off your New Year, consider volunteering with The Learning Source! Our adult students are working to get ahead and literacy is their greatest hope. Such as,

The young man who had to drop out of high school to work and support his family can now pursue his GED.

The refugee family who just moved to Colorado can learn English and build friendships along the way.

A mother who felt intimidated and afraid to talk to her child’s teacher is now volunteering in the classroom and her child is thriving.

The Learning Source has openings for primarily daytime volunteer tutors to assist adults learn the English language at several learning sites in the Aurora area. Volunteer tutors always work in conjunction with a paid instructor, working either one-on-one or in small groups, as our students work toward their GED or learn the English language. The commitment for volunteer tutors is 2-3 hours once a week from mid-January to mid-May. No prior teaching experience is required. Volunteer tutors provide the individualized instruction that is so essential to the success of our adult students.

All prospective volunteers must attend an orientation and training session. There are two opportunities: on January 11, 2018 OR January 17, 2018. For more information and register, contact the volunteer program coordinator, Debby Novotny Doig, at debby@thelearningsource.org or 303-957-2883.
